Some questions people are asking on Facebook:

My wife and I love the Aloft hotels. We are going to be in Asheville mid July, any chance you will be open??

New website is looking great (screenshot of the website above, top photo) and I cannot wait to stay there, take a swim and experience everything this place has to offer. This will be the closest thing to a contemporary, luxury beach resort in downtown Asheville! Somebody say YEAH!!! Ok, I just did.
